I mentioned it in the post. I would say it is similar to taking more weight off the flywheel. Overall quicker engine response. Quicker to rev up on heel/toe and the response at the top end on and off throttle is improved.

It is possible to adapt the 00-05 throttle cable to the 06. Or adapt the 06 throttle cable to the TODA itbs. The 06+ models just use a similar throttle cable controlling an actuator instead of the throttle itself. Would likely need standalone ECU as well though. Not worth it to me for how I use the car. Not to mention removing them every two years for smog.

I agree. Plus, that beautiful intake would be useless...unless you used it to route air into the toda carbon box that houses the itbs, but I'm sure they have another proprietary air duct that you could use.

They don't. One of the drawbacks of the Toda system is coming up with an appropriately sized intake solution. Most of the JDM companies use a totally custom set up that includes their own surge tank, or they will use the Toda surge tank with an arm that connects to the Mugen intake. There are pros and cons for both solutions, but there really isn't a great "this is the way to do it" option as far as I'm concerned.

Not a major update but just some nice photos and things. :hondawave: o_O S2000 | Mk I — Stage II - Page 21 - S NI SEN
The car looks so good from the rear with the way the ASM bumper sits and exposes more of what is under the car.
Doesn't look bad from the front either.
The car is over 120,000 miles with plenty more to come.
Brake bleeding is something I would always do at a friends shop, but decided to do a gravity bleed at home. Very simple process and I have to say I am impressed with the results. Using the two person method, the results were always a bit hit or miss, never quite as good as the feel of the pedal now, even when just bleeding the two front calipers. Really doesn't take any extra time (about 8 minutes or so per bleeder depending on the caliper) and easy to do other maintenance items while you wait.
Stopped for fuel and the sun decided to hit the ZE40s just perfectly.
Snap-on Techangle torque wrenches
Decided to step up my tool game recently and started off with some nice Snap-on tech angle torque wrenches. Got the 3/8" version to start with the 1/4" and 1/2" on the way. The ability to have presets sold me on these as well as all the other bells and whistles. Mainly I just enjoy watching car production factory videos and I was always jealous of the fancy torque wrenches they are always using so decided to get some of my own. I should be able to set a preset for every major component on the car.
I have to say, Feezy's great thread on the TODA ITBs might have changed my mind about running them myself someday.
Especially once I get a second S2000.
